Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 777 - 786: Immortal? (5 updates)

On the following dawn, Ye Ling awoke early, made his way to the garden, and observed the rising sun, his heart brimming with emotions.

There he stood, as if he and the heaven and earth had merged into one, mysterious and natural, filled with harmony.

Ever since he became an Immortal of Hongchen, his entire state of being had changed, his vision was still as broad, but his mindset was entirely different.

Once again leaping out of the six realms and no longer within the Five Elements, this feeling simply couldn't be described with words; it was a wonderful taste that intoxicated him.

Now, all he contemplated was the woman by his side and his relatives; after becoming an Immortal, the passing years would no longer leave the slightest trace on Ye Ling.

But leaving no trace pertained only to him; for Wang Shufen, Ye Tian, and even his children, it meant enormous pain.

Take Wang Shufen for instance, her lifespan might only be a hundred years, and according to the laws of life, every person must experience birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Not a soul could escape the fate of death; only by becoming an Immortal and stepping out of the cycle of Reincarnation could one attain eternal life.

Yet now, Ye Ling had not the slightest way to help them escape the Binding of the Heavenly Dao, let alone his current self, even becoming the Immortal Emperor would be extremely difficult.

Unless he could successfully overcome the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation and enter another world, otherwise, there was nothing he could do.

Thinking this, Ye Ling couldn't help rubbing his head. It truly was a colossal dilemma, for whoever reached the end of their lifespan, it would be a tremendous blow.

With that thought, a slow flicker crossed Ye Ling's eyes. Since that was the case, the only option was to take them to the Immortal Realm; there, amidst the vastness of the Immortal Realm, many treasures of heaven and earth could help them extend their lifespans.

Just then, he heard his children's excited cries as they ran toward him, their chubby little arms flailing, faces beaming with joy.

"Daddy, hold me, daddy, hold me."

Ye Ping trotted all the way, and with a laugh, Ye Ling scooped him up, "Little fellow, you've just learned to walk and already you're running so fast, aren't you afraid of falling?"

Muttering, Ye An pouted and Ye Ling enveloped her into his other arm, "My little cotton-padded jacket, come here, let daddy give you a kiss."

Behind him, Wang Shufen carried Ye Yan, accompanied by Ye Tian; the two elders were overjoyed watching their grandchildren.

"Dad, mom, I have something to discuss with you," Ye Ling said with a slight smile. His parents were initially startled, then nodded and sat down on some chairs nearby. Ye Ling patted Ye An and Ye Ping, who hopped down from his embrace and ran off to play.

"Dad, mom, have you ever thought about eternal life?"

Ye Ling took a deep breath; Ye Tian and Wang Shufen across from him were stunned, clearly finding the question unfamiliar.

However, they quickly grasped the meaning behind Ye Ling's words, realizing what their son wanted to say.

"Eternal life? Heh, that's something countless emperors have longed for but could never achieve,"

"Everyone desires it, but son, your mother and I only wish to live this life quietly. We don't wish for immortality."

"We're not cultivators, we are just ordinary people. If you truly have some way to make us immortal, I think that would be torture for us," she said.

"I imagine that over the long years, we couldn't withstand it, and perhaps one day, we would mentally collapse. We are just ordinary people, without any grand dreams."

"Living a long life sometimes isn't a good thing. Perhaps dying of old age is the fate of an ordinary person," Ye Tian said with a slight smile. Beside him, Wang Shufen nodded in agreement. Ye Ling, hearing this conversation, was stunned. He was very surprised that his father could refuse such a tremendous temptation.

But in the next moment, Ye Ling understood. The so-called eternal life might indeed not be a good thing for ordinary people.

Those who desire immortality are mostly the powerful who hold sway or emperors who rule the world. To them, just a few decades are not enough to experience the joys of power and authority.

But for ordinary people, even a hundred years might already be a long time. If their time were any longer, it would either be wasted or they would just tread the same path over and over again.

Just like an old person, an ordinary old person at eighty—if you made them immortal, they might curse you with their walking stick, telling you that you're not doing them a favor, but causing them to suffer instead.

The issues with their bodies are the greatest obstacle. Keeping them alive would just be torture; immortality would mean a lifetime of suffering.

For cultivators, time is the ultimate capital. As long as they live, there's a possibility for a breakthrough. But for ordinary people, it's completely different.

"Even if you grant us immortality and take us to the Immortal Realm, have you considered what we could do there?"

"We don't know how to cultivate, don't want to cultivate, and don't wish to cultivate. At most, we could sightsee in the Immortal Realm, but what's the point in that?"

"Don't think too much. Your father and I, we are destined to be ordinary people. If you truly have the ability, just make sure we don't suffer too much."

"We don't ask for much, just to die peacefully in our sleep. And in the next life, if possible, let us be together again. That would make us completely content," Wang Shufen added.

Ye Ling, hearing his parents' words, couldn't help but sigh deeply. Perhaps his parents' sentiments represented the vast majority of people.

Were his own ideas immature? Was he imposing his own wishes onto others?

"I can help you cultivate. I think the path of cultivation would definitely interest you," Ye Ling said, still somewhat reluctant to give up.

But Wang Shufen and Ye Tian shook their heads and said, "Alright, stop thinking about it so much. Don't worry, we don't blame you."

After finishing their conversation, the two of them went over to play with their grandchildren, Ye Ping and Ye An, leaving Ye Ling standing there, dumbfounded. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Sighing deeply, Ye Ling wondered, were his thoughts really wrong?

Somewhat dejected, he returned to the living room. Mo Siqing happened to come out, and upon seeing Ye Ling's expression, asked what was the matter.

Ye Ling rubbed his head and recounted the recent events to Mo Siqing. After listening, Mo Siqing burst into laughter.

"How about this, let's take a trip to the Imperial Capital and we'll know once we ask Grandpa," Mo Siqing suggested with a smile.

Ye Ling suddenly became energized. Yes, his grandfather had held power for half a century and tasted the flavor of authority; what choice would he make?
